Description

This product is a recombinant type human ribonuclease inhibitor purified using a combination of ion exchange and affinity chromatography.
This inhibitor exhibits broad-spectrum RNase inhibitory properties, including RNase A, RNase B, RNase C and human placental RNase. Does not inhibit RNase T1, S1 nuclease, RNase from Aspergillus, and RNase H. The 50kDa protein exerts its inhibitory effect by noncovalently binding to RNases in a 1:1 ratio. This inhibitor can be applied to a reverse transcriptase reaction.

Features

• Stabilizes RNA in a cDNA synthesis or a RNA synthesis reaction.
• Dees not inhibit SP6, T7 or T3 RNA Polymerase, AMV or M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase, or Taq DNA polymerase.
• Exhibits broad-spectrum RNase inhibitory properties.
• Active over a broad pH range (pH 5-8).

Application

cDNA synthesis, in vitro transcription, in vitro translation

Application Data

Example 1.Inhibition effect of RNase inhibitor on RT-PCR

Reverse transcription was performed with a random primer using total RNA from HeLa cells as a template with or without RNase inhibitor and RNase A. The results of amplification of human IL-8 genes from the cDNA suggest that the addition of RNase inhibitor to the reverse transcription step effectively and efficiently protects mRNA.
